ECMWF/ITT/2019/BOND19 Procurement of Servers and Hyperconverged Systems
Main contract details
This ITT covers the procurement of two Lots as defined in:
• Lot 1 – Specific Requirements – Servers and Software
• Lot 2 – Specific Requirements – Hyperconverged Systems
Tenderers may elect to tender for Lot 1, Lot 2 or for both Lots. Where a Tender covers both Lots, the Tenderer must submit separate prices for each Lot, but may also indicate a discounted price or percentage reduction for each Lot which will apply if ECMWF awards the Tenderer a contract for both Lots. For the avoidance of doubt, ECMWF shall be permitted to award a contract for one or for both Lots on the basis of the Tender/s submitted.
All Tenders (whether for one Lot or for both Lots) shall cover:
• installation,
• training of up to five (5) ECMWF staff, and
• support & maintenance of the hardware and software/firmware (if applicable).
This ITT covers an initial purchase of Servers and Hyperconverged Systems and thereafter allows ECMWF to make additional purchases for a period of three (3) years from the date of contract signature. This period may be extended annually by ECMWF for up to a further two (2) years.
